The Absolute Perfect Apartment

I am endlessly inspired by Kate and Andy Spade's NYC apartment.


As we are looking for our own place in the city to move to next month, I can't help but want to put 'french doors' and 'herringbone floors' and 'knee-high base boards' at the top of my secret list and just hope those features coincide with 'great school', 'easy commute' and 'fantastic neighborhood' (not to mention 'affordable'!!).








These images are old news for most of us, but I feel like there's something fresh to enjoy each time I go through my "Spade Apt" folder.




There's not a thing I would change about this home. Seriously.










It's modern, traditional, spunky and fresh, all at once.

  3. Nice space! But there is way too much going on for my taste! It made me feel like I was looking through a store show room! I think your own decorating is far more tasteful!

  5. What an amazing apartment. The dining room chandelier is awesome. Every time I'd scroll to the next picture I'd think, ooh I like that...at that...and that. Your're right, nothing needs to be changed.

  13. According to her designer, it took 12 months to renovate and 3 years to decorate.
    The location is "up town"..
    I imagine it has changed a lot since those photos were taken though.. in 2004.

  21. I would want a calming retreat if I lived in New York, not a place that is so busy, full of visual clutter and garish colors. To each her own though! The kitchen isn't too bad.

Einige kette thomas sabo der Jahre möglicherweise nicht in chronologischer Reihenfolge aufgeführt werden, aber ich habe sie so nah wie thomas sabo kette möglich.
